Hi, I may be a little late in responding to this post but I am hoping someone will see it. Recently my mother and I uncovered a whole family living in England that she knew nothing about, her father's, he had been completely silent about them! At 80 she is delighted to find some roots at last! Her grandfather, grandmother and aunt and her aunt's sister and husband are all buried in West Norwood. I am in Australia and my mom is in South Africa so if anyone happens to be visiting with a camera we would be eternally grateful. The information we have on the graves from my grandfather's documents (when he visited the cemetery and paid for upkeep on some of the graves in the 50s-60s) is as follows.
Green Ena d 9/2/1922 and Green Emily d 23/9/1943 are I think in the same grave 36005 sq 43. He has marked on the note that it is the second tier from the road. He says this grave is 9 inches from Green 35907 and 4 ft east of Green 35360. I believe one of the two Greens here would be Cornelius who died abt Feb 1922 after a 1907 divorce from Emily. I am not sure who the other is. Also buried at West Norwood is Emily Green (nee Carpenter's) sister Alice De Lille and her husband John who was the US consul in Bristol in the late 1880s. He died13/1/1890 and she died in 5/10/1927?.
The information my grandfather gave for this burial is plot 23682 sq 101 Delille, 2/9 west of Eugenie Waite 19514, 8th tier from Doctors Road.
If there is anyone out there doing the history of the Green/Carpenter family in this area of London I would also be interested to hear from them. My grandfather lists his mother's brother Charles as dying on 27/1/28 and her parents Caroline (nee Spier) dying on 8/7/99 and John dying on 25/1/1898. It is possible but not certain they may also be in Norwood.
Any help at all would be incredibly gratefully received and I'm happy to reciprocate with anything I can do from Canberra!
Best wishes Melissa
